Description

Can you recognise yourself in any of these stories?

Lorna: I started my business a year ago and really likes being my own boss. I feel confident about the qualify of service I deliver, but I struggle with the business side of the job. I read a lot about what needs to be done, I attend courses, but knowing is not doing and I find it challenging to prioritise tasks. I need guidance tailored to my type of business and to my circumstances.

Jeremy:I like working from home. It saves me money and time on travel. But Iget easily distracted easily at home and I miss having colleagues to chat to during lunch or coffee breaks. I have to admit I was more productive when I had other people around.

Una: I’ve had my business for nearly two years now. I want to scale up: develop my product line, find new stockists, expand my market start an e-commerce and.I want to have a premium product. I’ve read a lot about how to do it. But I can’t get myself to start doing the actual work. It’s a bit overwhelming.There is so much to do…

Underpinning this course is a business development technique known as F.A.A.Bi.S.

f.a.a.bi.s is an acronym of several key values, working backwards:

Bi.S. is for Business Strategy. Developing a business is like travelling. If you know where you’re going, you’ll pick the shortest, easiest route at a price that you can afford. If you don’t know your goal, you’ll wander aimlessly and loose time and money on small journeys, which won’t take you where you want to be.

A.is for Application. Knowing what to do is one thing, but doing it requires courage, perseverance, problem solving and most importantly,the right mindset. You will leave each session with a plan for the following week and what’s crucial- you complete at least one of those tasks during each session, the tasks which feels most intimidating. The rest will be that much easier.

A. is for Accountability. Working from home, on your own, can be convenient but it can also lead to procrastination, over thinkingand under delivery. For each week you will have a different accountability partner. You will help one another stay motivated so you can both complete weekly tasks. On top of that, you’ll be part of a closed Facebook group, where you can share yourthoughts and ask questions if you are not sure about something.

Along the way, by working together and helping each other, you will build business relationships and long lasting friendships.And that’s what F. is for.
